Welcome to the website of the InSAI (pronounced like "Insight") lab. The lab is a part of the School of AI and Robotics at Hunan University.
The vision of the lab is to build a utopia where integrated sensing systems can empower and enhance human capabilities, especially benefiting people with disabilities. Our mission is to merge interdisciplinary fields such as computer vision, robotics, transportation systems, assistive technologies, and human-computer interaction (HCI) to create Assistive Intelligence.
